Drill Teams Rock!

"Sex trumps Violence!" said children's author Mo Willems as he handed out first place to the team that "sexed it up" for the 2nd Annual Massachusetts Book Cart Drill Championships.In their pink cowgirl duds, the Plymouth library staff, strutted their stuff to "I feel like a woman". The competition was close with the costumed Batman characters of Andover springing their Demco carts into action. And although they took bronze, Methuen sparkled in golden tophats. Demco generously donates gift certificates for their products to the winning libraries and promotes the Book Cart Drill Teams throughout the country. The "Nationals" will be held in Chicago this year at the annual American Library Association Conference in July.
